Couple of Questions on Women's Kit O_O

Not for me you understand but on behalf of my fiancée... :angel:

 

First off I was wondering if anyone knows when WRAC/QARANC started wearing what would be considered combat uniform.

 

My reference points so far; a 1972 issue of soldier magazine shows QARANC wearing '60 pattern combats whilst engaged in a mock civil defence/emergency scenario...

 

Photos dating from the late '60s and early '70s showing WRAC on jungle training in JGs and jungle boots.

 

 

The second question regards WRAC Provost, I know for a long time they wore the men's khaki SD cap with red cover and then had a red version of the distinctive women's forage cap but a photo from Berlin in the 1960s (attached) seems to show a men's RMP forage cap being worn, so I'm basically looking for confirmation that they wore this for a period before the red cap in the women's style was introduced and specifics, if anyone knows...
